BumJr Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Playing with a good player (one national championship to his credit albeit many years ago) you open 1S in first position with a 12 HCP minimum, 5 spades and 4 clubs. The bidding proceeds 2D by LHO, Double by partner, and Pass by RHO. You respond 3C and partner now bids 3H. Should you play partner for: (A) x KQxxxx x Qxxxx OR (B) xx KQJxxx xx xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSClyde Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I see no reason to expect a club fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 B but if you play wjs in competition he probably has a slightly more flexible hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumJr Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I played him for B, but he held A. I believe that partner should have been able to work out that I had no heart support and that 3C was a fine spot. It is likely that the HCP are pretty evenly divided between the two sides. Since there was no raise of 2D, partner should realize that the opponents may not have 9 diamonds between them, which means I could have as many as 4 diamonds (and any lower diamond honors in my hand are wasted). I have bid spades and clubs and figure to have diamonds. How can I have decent enough heart support to suggest that would be a better spot when he knows that we have a club fit?
